...Danish statistician Bjorn Lomborg's claim that global warming will only cause us to wear "slightly fewer layers of winter clothes" is not credible. My new book Global Warming and Agriculture uses averages from six climate models and two schools of agricultural-impact models to estimate that in the absence of action, by the 2080s, global warming will reduce agricultural productivity 30% to 40% in India, 15% to 25% in Africa and Latin America, and 20% to 35% in the southern U.S. and Mexico. And if we consider the longer-term catastrophic risks from the runaway greenhouse effect, shutdown...

You had to wear a dress or skirt that was mid-calf, six inches below the knee at least. And you had to wear long sleeves and something with a high neck. You just had to have everything covered. And then we weren't allowed to cut our hair...
...making new friends as we commiserate. We all talk to each other and are amazed at what we actually take with us when we have to flee our homes. We look at each other and what we're wearing, a style we have learned to call "evacuwear." One Rancho Bernardo resident, whose wife had gone ahead to a hotel, was left picking through the clothes for her. He was certain she'd want her velour sweats and deck shoes. Come to think of it, he hadn't seen her wear her deck shoes in years, but since...
...worst problem with the WIB t-shirt motto is that it implicitly associates female professionals with high heels, and this constitutes quite a sexualized image. This association devalues the other aspects of female professionalism, such as brainpower, organizational abilities, and corporate prowess. Successful women don’t all wear kitten heels, after all—Harvard’s own Drew Faust appears to be quite a fan of flats...
